Re: [PATCH v2 3/7] memcg: use compound_order rather than hpage_nr_pages

[Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>]

Tsukada-san,

I am not familiar with memcg so can't comment about whether the patchset
is the right way to solve the problem outlined in the cover letter but
had a couple of comments about this patch.

Please move this before Patch 1/7. This is to prevent wrong accounting
of pages to memcg for size != PMD_SIZE.

Instead of replacing calls to hpage_nr_pages(), is it possible to modify
it to do the calculation?

Thanks,
